Council committee clears late‑filed substitute extending East Bank redevelopment district for one year
Summary
A late‑filed substitute to BL2025‑1104, extending the East Bank redevelopment district for one year, was moved forward after the council approved suspension of Rule 13; the substitute corrects missing reference numbers from MDHA.
A late‑filed substitute to BL2025‑1104 that extends the East Bank redevelopment district for one year was advanced after the council committee approved suspension of Rule 13 to allow consideration.
Councilmember Cupp, who presented the late substitute, said the change came from the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) and that the substitute’s sole change was the addition of planning and reference numbers that were left blank in the initial filing. The substitute will extend the existing redevelopment district for 12 months to avoid a lapse while council and agencies consider longer‑term revisions.
The committee approved suspension of Rule 13 to allow immediate consideration of the late substitute by a 5‑0 voice vote. The sponsor said the amendment removes the portion of the East Bank now governed by a different authority and retains coverage over parts of Main and Gallatin while work proceeds on a longer review of the district.
Next steps: with Rule 13 suspended, the substitute will be considered by the full council on the scheduled agenda. Councilmembers said they intend to revisit the longer‑term boundaries and governance of the redevelopment district in the coming year.
